Meta has announced that its upcoming Pinky smart glasses will soon feature the company's Private Processing encryption service, a move aimed at addressing the privacy concerns that have plagued the wearable.
The Pinky glasses, which have attracted criticism for their data‑collection practices, will now process sensitive information locally on the device rather than sending it to external servers. This change is intended to give users greater control over their personal data.
Private Processing is a privacy‑focused encryption framework that allows data to remain encrypted while it is being processed, reducing the risk of exposure during transmission.
Meta has not yet provided a specific rollout date for the updated glasses, but the company said the feature will be available in a future software update.
Industry observers say the integration of Private Processing could help restore confidence in Meta's wearable technology and align the company with broader privacy standards in the tech sector.
